Well, after having almost died.......

.....I bring you myself alive and well.

I spent the weekend in the hospital, Friday night to Sunday evening, due to alcohol poisoning and hypothermia.

Friday night, my friend and I met up with a few other guys and they had a handle of whiskey, so I started drinking. And drinking. It was actually the first time I had straight up been drunk without also smoking pot. It doesn't help that I was drinking hard liquor on an empty stomach. It also doesn't help that I'm on two different kinds of perscription medication for bipolar.

I remember walking with my "friends" and falling down a whole lot. After that I couldn't remember anything, so this is what I was told:

Apparently someone saw my "friends" dragging my blacked-out limp body around and called the cops. Apparently once the authorities got close, my "friends" (this is why I put "friends" in quotes) ditched my body in a field and took off.

I woke up in the hospital with a tube going down my throat, a tube up my nose, and a tube in my penis (Hey, at least I didn't have to get out of bed to piss!).

Apparently, ditching me in a field was somehow a bad idea, and on top of alcohol poisoning, I was also struck with hypothermia. By the time the cops and paremedics got to me, I was covered in vomit and barely had a heartbeat.

Anyways, I'm never touching alcohol again, or at least not for a very, very long time. And although I know it's harmless, I'm probably quitting pot for awhile too, just because I feel bad for letting my mom down.

Sorry for the long post, but props to those of you who find the time to read through it all. Take care of yourselves, guys.

*edit* And to think this took place on Friday the 13th.... heh.

Damn.... That sucks.. And that was fucked up about what your "friends" did.

You can't put that on them. If they were drunk too, especially. They didn't want to get busted, and calling the cops for you was definitely a life saver, so without your "friends", you would have been dead.

Ok they might be drunk, but when I'm drunk.. the second something serious happenes a rush sobers me up to make me act properly, and if one of my friends was like that, I would never ditch his body into a field.. it sounds like your disposing a deadbody after a hitman strike. If you're drunk like that you don't have control over your body, you can choke in your own vomit or do other stupid things that might kill you. Anyways good luck recovering and eh,, I hope your at a legal age to drink cause if not some bad shit still can happen..

good luck anyway

It wasn't them who called the cops, it was whoever saw them dragging my body around.

I'm 17, and so far there's been no mention of me really being punished by th authorities. I mean, I would think hovering on the edge of life and death would be punishment enough, and if that didn't teach me a lesson, I don't know what else will.

The other guys might get in trouble though, because when my mom goes in to the police station today to get my cellphone (they took it to call people on my contacts list and try to find out who I was with), she's going to give them the names she has of who I was with.

^ another reason why they had to stay with you.

Fucking friends, my god.

If anything happens to one of my mates, or any of their acquaintances the last thing on my mind is leaving them.

Hell man I 'wasted' an entire party once cause one of my mates got so drunk he got in this 'breakdown' situation where all he did was either vomit or sit there unable to move.

I stayed with him until he was somewhat sober and capable of walking back in.

Fuck your friends man, real friends don't ditch you.

and, uhm, didn't that tube in your penis hurt like a mofo?

that sounds like just about the worst weekend possible. im glad your ok and everything.

question though: was the tube IN your penis or kind of around the tip?

Q2: did your "friends" come to see you at the hospital?

OOOOUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH!!! god good thing you were passed out when they did that....

thats pretty shitty of them to do that... are you ok now thow i mean that is some serious shit.....

To answer all you guys' questions: Yeah, don't worry I'm alright now. And that tube in my pecker went aallllll the way in, and I'm lucky I was knocked out when they put it in, and it was a little bit uncomfortable while it was in, although it hurt when they yanked it out.

And as for how it felt to come so close to death, well, I don't have too much to say. I didn't have an out of body experience when I was unconcious or anything, and I didn't even know I had come so close to dying until I was told.

As a person I don't feel any different about anything really, except for the fact that I won't be drinking at all, and probably not smoking for awhile, both of which I'm fine with.

Peace.
